About this app
Know exactly when you're ready for the NIC Esthetics Theory Exam.
This app prepares you for the written license exam and pairs with your Milady textbook.
Whether you say esthetician or aesthetician exam prep, this app covers NIC's national esthetics theory exam, used by many state boards. Every esthetics state board practice test mirrors the official 110-question NIC format. The app covers facial treatments, skin science, and sanitation, whether your state tests through PSI or another provider.
GlowStudy is a complete NIC esthetics exam preparation system built on cognitive science: confidence calibration, spaced repetition, stress inoculation, and progressive difficulty that adapts as you learn. A predicted exam score and an Exam Readiness score show when you are ready for exam day.
PASS GUARANTEE ON EVERY PRO PLAN
Earn your Exam Ready Certificate, take your NIC exam within 14 days, and if you do not pass, we refund your plan payment. Full details in our Terms of Use.
HOW IT WORKS
You answer each question with a swipe: right when you are confident, left when you are unsure. Our confidence calibration system tracks four dimensions of mastery: what you know and know well, what you know but doubt, what you get wrong but thought you knew, and what you are still learning.
Progressive difficulty takes you through four practice test levels (Foundation, Intermediate, Advanced, and NIC Simulation) so you build competence before the state board exam.
